(The Yandere Returns?!)

“Aphrodite?” I questioned. My eyes flickering briefly to the woman next to her.

The woman in question smiled kindly as she caught my eyes observing her, while Aphrodite practically bead at my presence. A bright smile appeared on her face after getting over her surprise.

“Kai! What a surprise. What are you doing here?” She questioned happily.

I had previously taken my mask off to show respect to Hades or well Pluto. aning she was able to imdiately identify .

I briefly considered how to respond, while she had been nothing but genuine and warm with I had only t her once before. I wasn’t so simpering idiot who would imdiately trust her due to her beauty.

Beauty was just another sort of weapon, confird by the system as my power level rose when my charisma had risen.

“I just had a eting with Pluto, I’ve retrieved his Helm from a certain individual.” I answered truthfully. Giving her a small smile back in turn.

The woman next to her perked up.

‘Appraisal’

{Na: Persephone}

{Title: Deter's daughter of Zeus, wife of Hades, and queen of the underworld.}

{Race: God}

{Current Power level: 12,600}

{Power level: 19,200}

That was less than I was expecting from the queen of the Greek underworld, then again she was considered a minor goddess by her pantheon and myth so it made sense.

She was still stronger than Hercules and her divine form reached into the class I had still not decided on a na for that was above the Ultimate Class.

“Oh my, you were able to retrieve my husband’s weapon?” Persephone asked. “He did tell about the young Angel who had so brazenly entered his domain. It seems your bold attitude has so validity if you managed to snatch it from Ares' grasp.”

Aphrodite paused at that. Her smile receded.

“You fought Ares?” She questioned with concern. Her hand shook minutely, which I caught with my enhanced eyesight.

She truly was afraid of the fool wasn’t she? I suppose having such a stalker work on weakening you over the course of centuries just to enslave you would be intimidating.

A flash of pink and she was suddenly in front of , checking over. Persephone looked at her in confusion and amusent. Her warm hands touched my cheeks delicately.

“Are you okay?” She asked. “Persephone told that Ares was behind the stolen divine weapons and the brewing war. I am not surprised soone like him would start a war just for fun.”

I took a mont to register what was happening and used Empathy to detect if she was putting on an act. I couldn’t help but be suspicious even if I was technically her friend. Again, I had only t her once.

Such care was strange…

“Yeah, he kind of beat my ass but I managed to force him into his Divine form. Let’s just say I got a little payback for you and the friends he hurt.” I replied with a smirk.

Her eyes widened and a small blush crept up on her cheeks. She looked flattered. Which was the intended effect of admitting that.

Persephone was smiling slyly, her eyes continuing to flicker between us. I could already tell she was cunning. There was sothing about her that put on edge.

Her emotions were that of Amusent, interest and ambition.

“You didn’t have to do that for .” She replied softly. Her warm breath tickled my skin from how close she was. “Are you sure you’re okay?”

She ignored the fact I also did it for Avael and Percy along with Annabeth. I was truthful. Ares was a dickhead and part of had decided it was a good chance to get revenge for her, if only to gain her favour and further our friendship.

“Don’t worry, I’m fine. I’ve got a special ability to regenerate” I assured her.

Her eyes narrowed.

“He forced you to regenerate?” She asked.

I chuckled.

“I’m pretty sure he broke about every bone in my body at one point.” I smirked. “Don’t worry though, it’s just the cost of enraging a God. He was left in a worse state than . Both ntally and physically.”

She looked angry.

That genuinely surprised .

“He still hurt you. I ought to strangle life out of that pathetic waste of divinity.” She growled.

Persephone laughed gently behind her, simply opting to observe us.

I smiled awkwardly.

“I don’t think Zeus will have much rcy on him after I tell him what Ares has done. Speaking of, I’m afraid I have to go. I have a Bolt to deliver.” I replied.

And rewards to collect.

Aphrodite nodded, a frown on her face. She still had her hands cupping my face. Which was a bit awkward but she didn’t seem to notice and it felt oddly comforting so I didn’t protest.

“I’m coming with you.” She stated.

I scratched my head awkwardly and she finally realised she was still closely holding onto , quickly she stepped back. She was still close but not in breathing level.

“I don’t think that’s a good idea, I’ve got a mask that completely suppresses my aura. So I can sneak around easily.” I explained. “Also Don't you have sothing that needs your attention here?

I looked towards Persephone.

“Oh don’t mind , Aphrodite rely ca down to visit after all. I do love having one of the few friends I have in my realm.” She said, a mysterious smile on her face.

Aphrodite nodded.

“I can alway co visit her at a later date. For now, I will escort you to et Zeus. He is much less likely to strike you on the spot with after all.” She explained, giving a gentle smile.

A blush reappeared on her face. “Thank you for being so considerate of though.”

She had a point, I didn’t really know of Zeus so I hadn’t accounted for the fact that he might just strike down. Perhaps the myths and legends had so validity?

I also didn’t think she was going to take ‘No’ for an answer.

"Alright, I was planning to make my way out through the DOA Studios exit from the Underworld." I replied.

Aphrodite smirked and Persephone giggled in amusent.

“There’ll be no need for that. I’m keyed into the wards and formations protecting Hades domain as a trusted visitor. I can teleport us out.” Aphrodite inford .

Well, That saved the trip all the way up to Olympus.

“We need to go soon,” I said, my gaze shifting between Aphrodite and Persephone.

I put my mask on. I could feel the taphorical clock ticking on this whole situation, and every second spent lingering put closer to unwanted attention.

Aphrodite smiled, stepping closer again.

“Of course, but first…” She turned towards Persephone, who was still watching us with that knowing amused expression. “I’ll see you again soon, Persephone.”

Persephone gave a slow, graceful nod. “I look forward to it and try to take care of her, Kai.” Her tone was teasing and there was a hint of sothing deeper beneath her smile.

Without another word, Aphrodite gently placed a hand on my arm and a pink power covered us as the world blurred for just a mont.

When the haze cleared, we were standing... in Central Park? Not exactly the location I thought we would be going to.

“Wait, why are we in Central Park?” I voiced my thoughts, my brow furrowing. “I thought we were going to Olympus?”

Aphrodite flushed crimson, avoiding my eyes as she shifted her feet nervously.

“Uh, there was a problem with teleportation into Olympus.” She said unconvincingly.

Her embarrassnt was clear as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

I stared at her a bit flatly but nodded regardless.

-{Aphrodite}-

Aphrodite didn’t know what she was doing. She of course could teleport directly into Olympus as one of the twelve Olympians. Kai knew that, judging by the way he stared at her in slight amusent and confusion.

It made her face heat up, this had been a last split mont decision. With what reason in mind? She had simply wanted to spend a bit more ti with him.

Truthfully Kai did sothing to her, that much was obvious. She couldn’t rember the last ti she had flushed in embarrassnt like this. Even without the consideration he had shown for her that she wasn’t used to receiving from males.

He fundantally made her feel a certain way she enjoyed.

Being a Goddess of Love had made her be treated like shit by most Gods, who assud she would easily put out and spread her legs. Then she didn’t take it as a personal insult no matter how kind she was about it.

Finding the right man among Greek and Roman Gods was never going to happen though. There were very few genuine Gods to be found among them.

“I see, then perhaps we should slowly make our way over to Olympus?” Kai suggested.

She nodded, smiling happily at the suggestion.

“Yes, it shouldn’t be that long of a walk. We can’t simply teleport a bit closer once we leave Central Park.” Aphrodite suggested.

He raised an eyebrow but didn’t comnt. Simply nodding along.

Kai began walking at a casual pace. Aphrodite follows along, occasionally stealing glances at him.

“So.” Aphrodite began. “I must admit that I am curious how you ended up getting involved in my family's ss.”

Kai seed thoughtful.

“I kind of just ran into Percy. I was mainly floating around before all this after so events that left in need of a break.” He spoke with a thoughtful frown.

Aphrodite humd in response. She had co to know what Kai was involved with after she had done a little research on him. Well, gathering all the information she could on him. For research purposes only. Is what she reminded herself of.

She hadn’t been able to find much, which wasn’t very surprising. Aphrodite didn’t have many people she spoke to and the best she could do was try to gather information through her daughters all throughout the world.

No one has heard of Kai, he had just suddenly showed up in camp when Chiron found him. He had apparently saved the troubleso Demigod son of Poseidon.

“You weren’t sent here by your father?” She questioned curiously.

The Father of Angels didn’t normally involve himself in the affairs of other Factions, not anymore at least. Excluding the ti he drove the Egyptian pantheon to near extinction.

She had thought perhaps a Divine war that would surely spread past Greek/Roman boundaries had finally made the powerful God move. Then again sending a young Angel instead of a Seraph didn’t seem like a wise choice.

Kai looked pensive before he shook his head.

“No, but my presence in Arica is known by Heaven.” He replied hesitantly.

She understood. He was trusting her.

It made her heart beat slightly faster.

Perhaps all the years of neglect and being seen as a tool for sex had made her weak to any sort of normal interaction. Or the comforting aura he radiated even when it was concealed with that strange mask.

Aphrodite smiled sweetly.

“I heard most, if not all, Angels are up in Heaven. Sounds like you were doing sothing intense before all this. So, why aren’t you?” she asked hesitantly, wondering if she was being too inquisitive.

Kai shot her a sideways glance, and her worry grew. Had she overstepped? As a Goddess, even with few friends, she was used to mortals answering her questions. It was a bad habit.

“I’m a bit of a different case, you could say. I’ve been able to travel, which has been... interesting,” he replied.

-{Kai}-

Aphrodite paused.

“Thank you for telling this.” She thanked genuinely, looking flattered.

I had been a bit cautious of her questioning for a mont, which was expected from a guy who had been betrayed by his entire family in his past life but her emotions were sincere.

For so reason she felt trustworthy and oddly warm.

So I was okay with giving her so information on myself. I had gotten better at interacting with people during my ti in India after my solitude in the Familia Forest.

We walked for a bit, enjoying the slowly setting sun. While I personally would have preferred simply getting this quest done with, I was enjoying the ti simply hanging out.

It was a small bit of normality in the chaotic way I lived.

We continued walking, the silence between us comfortable. Aphrodite occasionally brushed her hand against her hair while stealing quick inquisitive glances at before looking away with a small, almost shy smile.

"So," she began after a mont, her voice taking on a slightly more playful tone, "You ntioned before that you’ve been to so interesting places. Where has the mysterious Angel nad Kai travelled to before? "

I considered her question. Before I decided that telling her wouldn't really change anything.

“I guess India would have to be the most interesting.” I replied.

Her eyes widened.

“India? Really?” Aphrodite questioned.

I raised an eyebrow.

“Yeah, why?”

“Kai no one goes to India, in fact it’s hard enough to get in there without being caught but dealing with the Hindu Gods is always unpleasant.” Aphrodite replied.

Oh right, Shanu had told this but I thought a God would surely have been there before. For one reason or another.

“The Hindu Pantheon is the most mysterious collective group of Gods in the world, perhaps only matched by the Abrahamic God. They are unfairly powerful and have no wish to interact with anything beyond India. Unfortunately their Diplomatic team is less than pleasant and have a tendency not to care.” Aphrodite explained.

Seems about right.

“Yeah, well. As I said. It was interesting but did end with being chased out.” I chuckled.

Her eyes tightened minutely.

“I see. Did they hurt you?” She questioned.

I frowned as I rembered what they had done to my still deceased Angel. Which reminded that Momonga should be downloaded in a week. That would finally allow to download soone else and most of all obtain the resurrection skill.

“No, but they did hurt… a friend.” I quickly caught myself.

It was strange. I shouldn’t feel any emotion for the Angel I had lost, but both my Angelic instincts and even just myself had felt loss. The way he had looked at …

I rembered the Devi that had caused it and I wouldn’t forget. I would be going back to India at so point. Even if I had to create my own army of Angels to achieve it.

She held my hand in what I assud was an attempt to comfort .

“I’m sorry they did that to you.” Aphrodite said softly.

I smiled.

“Don’t worry, I’m over it.” I replied.

I wasn’t and I was going to put that bitch on a pike while marching her down the streets in front of her children.

I felt my Angelic instincts give a feeling of exasperation. It was weird, they were like its own foreign semi-conscious presence inside my body.

She let go of my hand hesitantly, and nodded. Her eyes worriedly glanced over at from ti to ti. She seemingly didn’t know what to say, which made sense. I mostly didn’t care about how I talked anymore, it was hard too after fighting literal Gods.

Aphrodite suddenly stopped, her clear eyes looking at with sothing foreign. Her flawless cheeks flushed. Her hand ca out to grasp mine once more and I let her take it with interest.

I could see why people viewed her in a certain way. She was insanely beautiful. I wouldn’t be surprised if any n nearby tried to attack if they saw the way she was acting.

“You’ve been kinder to than many I have t over the course of my life. I really do appreciate it, Kai. I’m glad to have accidentally t you. My new friend. I promise I’ll try and help you, I can see you’ve been through a lot. You don’t deserve that.” She suddenly said, her eyes staring at mine.

Even with my mask on. She seed to know exactly where to look.

What the hell? Where did this co from? I could feel her sincerity and a foreign emotion that had been developing through the process of our conversation grow.

Hearing such heartfelt words left speechless.

I went to reply only to freeze as a pressure descended on the area. Aphrodite’s eyes widened before narrowing, I felt both annoyance and apprehension emanating from her.

This aura was familiar. It took a mont to rember where I had felt it and I rembered the person it had co from. It had felt like ages since I had escaped her.

I turned around and found an obscenely gorgeous woman staring at Aphrodite with anger.

Flawless pale blue hair cascading down to the woman’s lower back. With two srising blue-slitted crystal eyes staring narrowly. Her lips I noticed were perfectly full.

Her body rivalled Aphrodite’s which was incredible in of itself, since I had only seen one woman more beautiful than the both of them and that was Gabriel.

Tiamat…

-{Tiamat}-

A few minutes earlier…

She had finally found him. It had been months since he had escaped and she had ti to reflect as Ajuka searched for him.

Since Ajuka had told her not to go searching for himself herself, she had given him six months at the most to find him before she went looking for him. Tiamat knew Ajuka had connections and thus it would be easier to find him through Ajuka.

Firstly, she had rebuilt the part of the Familiar Forest she had destroyed in her brief rage.

Then, she started thinking. She knew that she had been in the wrong. Acting so unhinged wasn’t normally like her at all. Falling head over heels for a boy she hadn’t spoken to was even stranger.

That emptiness she had felt hurt. So, she had focused by finding out what had happened. With her many treasures there were books, both on her species and theories surrounding her species.

Tiamat had co to a conclusion, the first thing was the suddenly intense emotions. She had deducted that this had happened due to holding in her instincts. Every Dragoness eventually got an urge to procreate.

As a virgin Dragoness she had never allowed herself to indulge in that, so holding in all of that had left her overwheld. Finally having that all poured out had made her thinking twisted.

After figuring that out, she had wondered why she had beco so attractive and in love with a stranger. Which was when she found out a rare phenonon among Dragons.

Dubbed ‘Bonding’ by the dragon that had noted it from an age well past, it was an experience only a couple Dragons had experienced throughout history.

Normally, it simply made a Dragon fall deeply in love with its recipient for whatever reason but Tiamat had experienced a much more intense version of this experience.

This didn’t help though. Once she had learnt that she had been left with only her feelings and thoughts. Ajuka was helpful but he couldn’t find him. Tiamat had reflected over her actions.

Telling the interest of her affection that she was going to ‘Trap him.’ Had left her cringing at her actions. She was normally the cool and calm type of Dragoness, so really taking ti to view how she had acted was horrifying.

She had made so many plans for when she would find him. Apologising, offering her services to his Father as an Apology. Sothing she was sure an Angel would appreciate. Even if his Father wasn’t the most accepting of Dragons for their chaotic actions in the past.

The emptiness had grown unbearable, consuming her days and nights. She found herself retreating into sleep, using it as an escape from the hollow ache gnawing at her. That was, until Ajuka ntioned rumours from his contacts. Whispers of an Angel clashing with a God in Arica.

She hadn’t hesitated. The mont she arrived at the location he'd been spotted, her heart raced.

After so long, she finally caught a trace of his scent. But just as quickly as it appeared, it vanished into thin air, leaving only the faintest ripple of energy behind.

Teleportation, she realised imdiately. He had slipped through her grasp again.

Her hopes were smothered. She hadn’t gotten there in ti. She hadn’t missed the signs of a colossal battle which made her worry. Then, suddenly she slt his scent. It was just in her range of sll.

Tiamat hadn’t wasted any ti. Tearing through the sky like a fighter jet and finally spotting him… with another woman.

Aphrodite.

She knew most Gods. Which was why she could instantly identify her.

The Love Goddess was holding his hand.

Her fists clenched.

-{Kai}-

Tiamat.

The crazed Dragoness who once tried to lock in her cave for reasons I still couldn’t figure out stood before . I had only seen her in her dragon form before.

Seeing her in human form was an experience. I could see her power level had gone down which made sense. Namara’s power level had gone down when he had taken human form too.

I had to admit, I appreciated this form a lot more than the deadly Dragon one.

Still though…

I nearly threw my hands up in exasperation.

Why now? I was so close.

I knew that fighting Ares would draw attention, but this was ridiculous.

She seed... calr now.

Maybe it was because she was in her human form, but she looked almost sane. Her eyes were coldly staring at Aphrodite, though they did linger on and soften considerably.

Then Aphrodite stepped in front of , her presence imdiately drawing the Dragoness' sharp gaze. One of her eyes twitched in agitation.

"State your business," Aphrodite demanded.

My eyes widened in surprise. She was actually attempting to protect ?

I’m sure she didn’t know who this was but she did see my wariness and the power emanating from Tiamat. While I appreciated her attempt, she wouldn’t be able to defeat Tiamat.

“I owe you no explanation, wench.” Tiamat’s soft voice rang out, a stark difference to the lower, more primal voice of her Dragon Form.

Aphrodite actually looked angry.

“I don’t know who you are, but I won’t tolerate your threats much longer. Leave. Now.” Aphrodite retorted.

Tiamat didn’t respond imdiately. Instead, her cold, piercing gaze drifted to where Aphrodite’s hand rested protectively on my arm.

“Remove your hands from him or I’ll remove your hands from your limbs.” Tiamat threatened coldly.

Her draconic aura intensified and the air was saturated with power. Aphrodite paused as she realised that Tiamat was powerful. She was dealing with soone stronger than her.

“Who are you?” She questioned.

I was observing them quietly for now, simply wondering the best way to go about this.

I couldn’t attribute much of any fight that broke out, past stunning her with judgent but there was a chance that there weren't enough sins to experience that would affect her.

She could also just go crazy like Ares and start killing everything. Past it’s stun affect it was basically a torture power.

Tiamat smirked.

“I am the Chaos Karma Dragon Tiamat and I’ll tell you this only one more ti. Remove your hand from him. I’ve killed enough of your kind before.” Tiamat revealed.

Aphrodite grit her teeth.

“Kai run.” She quickly whispered, not that Tiamat couldn’t hear it by the way her face morphed into a snarl.

Suddenly Aphrodite was pinned down on the ground, Tiamat appearing above her in a burst of speed I couldn’t even hope to follow. Cracks cascaded through the ground from the sheer force.

Aphrodite whimpered in pain.

“You think you can Charmspeak him into loving you? Skank.” Tiamat coldly said.

My eyes narrowed and ethereal chains burst out of in the next split mont.

Perhaps this was stupid but I wasn’t a coward. I didn’t suspect I would be able to run by the way Tiamat seed to keep her sight on at all tis. Her sharp eyes focused.

She swiped her hand and the two glowing chakra chains were swatted away.

Tiamat clicked her tongue.

“It seems she’s got you under her thrall already.”

Chakra roots erupted from beneath Aphrodite, who was still gritting her teeth in pain from Tiamat’s hold. Tiamat simply destroyed all of them with a move I couldn’t keep up with.

A burst of pink and I was forced back as a massive beam of pink energy exploded up.

Aphrodite was up. Her hair rising and body covered in a pink aura.

“Love Domain: Prison of the Heart.”

A do ford around Tiamat who rely raised an eyebrow.

“You think I can’t break out of this? I admit it’s strong, but not even a Domain skill can breach the gap between our power. Especially for soone with such a severed link to their Domain.” Tiamat mocked.

Aphrodite flinched and I could see the hurt in her eyes.

Love Domain Skill?

“Love Domain: Heart Break.” She sneered.

A copy of appeared in front of Tiamat, making a show of sneering at her with a look of sheer disgust.

“You really think I could ever love soone as pathetic as you-“

The illusion shattered. The barriers shattered and the world exploded.

Tiamat appears and delivers a punch hard enough to make Aphrodite scream in pain, a barrage of hits a split mont later and Aphrodite was on the ground unconscious.

I didn’t wait, quickly creating chains of light to bring her to .

As soon as I touched her she vanished into my inventory.

Tiamat was huffing in anger, her eyes shining with rage.

Her eyes turned to .

The thought that I had an unconscious Goddess in my inventory was certainly interesting.

For now I had a Dragoness to deal with.
